Lauren Leader: Going After P. Parenthood Leaves Families in Grave Danger

‘Rural hospitals are shutting down’

EXCERPT:

LEADER: “Essentially, what this allows is it allows states to target individual health care institutions that they do not like or agree with. And it doesn’t necessarily end with Planned Parenthood. But think about the fact that poor women now can’t go get mammograms or pap smears or other basic health care, which is, of course, a huge part of what Planned Parenthood does. The Republicans have gone after them relentlessly because of abortion care. But it’s not everything they do. And what we’re worried about, what even, you know, many Republicans are worried about, rural health care, rural hospitals are shutting down, rural clinics are shutting down, doctors are leaving anti-abortion states. So where does that leave families? It leaves them in grave danger. I think it’s going to come back. I think this was massive, massive overreach on behalf of the Supreme Court. It’s really disturbing."
